Biography
Patrick Crusius was born in Dallas, Texas in 1998, and he was influenced by white supremacist beliefs and actions, including Brenton Tarrant's deadly attack on a mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand in 2019. Crusius, an idler who only wanted to have a job so that he could "get by" in life, was motivated to carry out his own act of domestic terror by the first Democratic presidential debates in July 2019, during which former San Antonio mayor Julian Castro and El Paso congressman Beto O'Rourke had a heated debate over Central American immigration. Crusius published a manifesto on 8-Chan promising a response to the "Hispanic invasion of Texas", and, on 3 August 2019, he drove to the Cielo Vista Mall in El Paso with an AK-47-type assault rifle and killed over 18 people and wounded 22 in a mass shooting at the mall's Walmart. He was eventually taken into custody alive by police, ending his terrorist attack.
